  1. Burden of proof is on you to prove what the video says is right, not the other way around. Also, just say what the video is saying because nobody's gonna watch that.
  2. The irony when you're pretty far away from the oceans in PA...shouting about "observation or experience" to someone who lives on a boat.
  3. Well, can you at least make an original post that's not just a personal attack, that actually replies to my post about heavy metals? Yeah, I think this topic is done, you're running away from the discussion at a rapid pace. Bye
  4. Actually THIS is a strawman - I never said anything about the globe, I said it about YOU. If there's "irrelevant drivel", it's this Notice how Brent uses this to deflect that he has no answer to my point about heavy metals (i.e. he pretends to care about heavy metals in geothermal brines, when he doesn't give a shit about heavy metals emitted by coal)
  5. Popular doesn't mean right - it shows intellectual weakness if you think so. You also missed the rest of that "fact": It's peaking, and will start declining within the next 5 years.
  6. Now you're trying to copy Coreece when you actually avoid saying your actual point. And...that's not what a straw man argument is I did not make it up that you're hugely in favour of burning coal. You, on the other hand...
  7. This, along with the 737 MAX safety issues, and the general production quality issues that are being found means the rot is all over the company culture, and company culture is set from the top. The entire upper management needs to go. But since Calhoun is part of the board and is even the chairman! I think the problems will continue and if I was a betting man I'd take a short position on Boeing stock.
  8. Ok the post about his spelling was a bit unnecessary, but he was already so triggered way before that post All I posted about were facts, and seems like reality makes him angry (even though he was the one who started talking about toxic heavy metals). Ironic given how he thinks he's giving "reality checks" here as a reality denier. Here's another fact: leaded gasoline has exposed more people to heavy metals than anything else in modern history. It's still the case around general aviation airports. (like Happy Valley, maybe?) Now that leaded gasoline is mostly obsolete, guess what has replaced it as a major source of lead? Coal burning. Lead in Children’s Blood Is Mainly Caused by Coal-Fired Ash after Phasing out of Leaded Gasoline in Shanghai Again - liquid geothermal brines, like billvon mentioned as on topic to this discussion, are more easily handled than gaseous/tiny particle emissions so the risk of heavy metal pollution is lower. Brent had no answer to this point and instead just chose to lose his temper.
  9. I did: https://www.dropzone.com/forums/topic/287115-lithium-found-in-fracking-waste-water/?do=findComment&comment=5034338
  10. I'll take that you don't understand chemistry either which is why you're sounding like a broken record Have a nice day
  11. It's spelled "substantiative". You're welcome.
  12. Yeah because you're not really concerned about toxic heavy metal pollution where'd saint Brent go?
  13. Wait until you hear about what burning coal releases... "The majority of anthropogenic mercury emissions are from coal burning and gold mining, accounting for 24% and 37% of total output respectively" Coal burning doesn't just release mercury: It's easier to handle heavy metals in brines, than if they're in tiny particles or even gases released from coal burning.
  14. Seems I really hurt his feelings by predicting his behaviour about a year in advance...
  15. Most aircraft don't have front slats. Even fewer have automatically deployed slats.
  16. When you pull the yoke of an aircraft, nothing happens on the (front) wing. If I were to use your words - no release of mechanization happens. Lift coefficient would still increase though.
  17. Modern airliners like the A350 or 787 actually have more curvature on the bottom surface than the top surface of the wing, and they work pretty well for low speeds too. I've always wondered how a parachute with a supercritical aerofoil section would behave like.
  18. Brent only understands the street meaning of "low confidence", not its scientific context. He doesn't have a clue about probability and statistics (basic arithmetic is already stretching it). Kind of like when the Covid-19 vaccine had 90+% effectiveness, and all the conspiracy theorists were screaming why it wasn't 100%?
  19. Brent will reply to this with his usual list of useless "predictions" which nobody really disputes (CO2 will increase, fossil fuel use will increase, that polar bear stuff). He's predictable like that.
  20. Of course now, I'm going to have to modify my prediction for 2025 - because Brent has now been stung by acting as I predicted, he will then try to disrupt the trend by being far more conscious of when he starts his usual hurricane thread. (either posting around the same time, or leaving it a bit later, but not too late). Or maybe even go earlier, if he reads this particular post and wants a "gotcha" next year - times are pretty hard for climate change deniers these days.
  21. Wow, you're really desperate to make shit up that I didn't say, huh only chance you'll win this argument is by making the other side's arguments up yourself So, why are you posting this before we're halfway through June? Last year it was around end of July. It's almost like there's a TREND (that I predicted, by the way)
  22. The problem is that my observation is you're doing this more than a month earlier than last year: How did that season end, again?
  23. "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are so full of doubts." - Bertrand Russell Love your confidence, Brent
  24. How would you know, you could barely add two numbers together Why would I cry if there are fewer destructive hurricanes causing property damage? I'm not you, I'd be happy about that.
  25. Last year, how it started - Brent posted on July 23rd about how quiet it was in the Atlantic. How it ended - by August 30th the Atlantic was VERY active, and Brent was nowhere to be found. And I said: My prediction has mostly panned out! We're only a few days past May and Brent has already made his hurricane post
